+The C<deserialize> callback is passed a string that is the body of the

+structure that needs to be serialized and must return a string suitable
+for returning in the HTTP response.  In addition to receiving the scalar
+to act on, both callbacks are passed the controller object and the context
+(i.e. C<$c>) as the second and third arguments.
